If you're looking for work, read this before hitting send.
1. "Hi," is not a greeting.
If you don't use my name, I already know you sent this to 100 other people.
Personalize or don't bother.
2. Do your research.
I had someone pitch me their WordPress services.
I don't offer WordPress.
It took 30 seconds to check my website.
You didn't.
3. Your portfolio needs a domain.
My clients expect quality.
If your portfolio is on a free subdomain, that tells me everything.
A domain costs $13 a year. That's it.
4. "I can do everything" means you're great at nothing.
Pick the one thing you do better than most people.
Tell me that. Only that.
5. Don't call me bro.
We haven't met. This is a business conversation.
Maybe after 5 years we will become friends.
Not on the first email.
These aren't high standards.
They're basic professionalism.
The freelancers who get a response do the opposite of all five.
